I really only notice it when slowing down, especially when slowing down on a curve coming to a stop. Other than that i dont hear it. I searched a little but my symptoms are different than the threads i found. When im slowing down i hear a "tick tick tick tick..." from the rear. Its the same if i im in gear or not. Its worse when im on a curve slowing down to a stop. It has 96k miles on it. Ive only put about 2k on it since ive had it. I never launch the car hard. I still have stock rims and tires anyway. Any idea what it might be? Is my rear going bad? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I dont think so. I dont see what it would be brake wise. It sounds more like the rear end, and not the brakes. I had lots of brake issues and noises on my old Prelude.

I bet your right. It could be the rear. I test drove a SS once that did this. When I would make a low speed turn or do a U-turn the rear made the same noise your talking about. At the time I didn't know what it was and neither did the dealer. Needless to say I didn't buy the car, but after I joined this sight I saw a thread on this and that's when I realized what it was.
